Merge Into works in SQL, fails in PL/SQL

Database is 9i (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0) 
 
The 9i documentation--PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2)--makes it seem like this is part of the PL/SQL language, but the compiler disagrees. 
 
Anyone else encounter this? 
 
Test case: 
create table kev(d date, n number); 
Table created. 
 
..it works in SQL... 
MERGE INTO kev k 2 USING ( SELECT 1 n, sysdate d from dual ) s 
3 ON ( k.n = s.n ) 
4 WHEN MATCHED THEN 
5 UPDATE 
6 SET k.d = s.d 
7 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN 
8 INSERT (n,d) 
9 VALUES (s.n, s.d); 
 
1 row merged. 
 
..but not in PL/SQL... 
begin 2 MERGE INTO kev k 
3 USING ( SELECT 1 n, sysdate d from dual ) s 
4 ON ( k.n = s.n ) 
5 WHEN MATCHED THEN 
6 UPDATE 
7 SET k.d = s.d 
8 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN 
9 INSERT (n,d) 
10 VALUES (s.n, s.d); 
11 end; 
12 / 
MERGE INTO kev k

ERROR at line 2: 
ORA-06550: line 2, column 7: 
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "INTO" when expecting one of the following:

Thanks.

Answer
There are indeed DB parameters conflicting with the MERGE statement. The DB I am working on is for Oracle Applications. Apparently, although the applications are certified to run on current databases, the underlying code base has not really been brought up, and users are forced into some backward compatibility constraints. So I am stuck until we get our application upgraded from 11.5.7 to something better.
Hope this helps someone else.
Kevin
From the database initialization parameters:
# Events
# Events should not be set unless directed by Oracle Support,
# or by instruction as per the Applications documentation.
# The following events should be set for PL/SQL backward
# compatibility.
# These events should only be used if you are using Oracle
# Applications release 11.5.7. For later releases (i.e. 11.5.8
# or higher), you should remove these events.
event="10932 trace name context level 32768"
event="10933 trace name context level 512"
event="10943 trace name context level 16384"

"Merge into" statement doesn't work

Hi Reader,
It seems that in some of our installed machines merge into statement doesn't;t work. We've already experienced this issue on databases installed within virtual machines, but also found on other configurations sporadically.
Using statement match a single/multiple records (according required logic)
statement:
MERGE INTO RNCATEGORIES CV
USING dual ON
( CV.DESIGNCENTERID = in_DESIGNCENTERID
AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET
PKGCATEGORYID = in_PKGCATEGORYID,
     UserPackageType = in_UserPackageType
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT VALUES ( in_DESIGNCENTERID,
in_CADPACKAGENAME, in_PKGCATEGORYID,in_UserPackageType );
Table script:
CREATE TABLE RNCATEGORIES
DESIGNCENTERID RAW(16) NOT NULL,
CADPACKAGENAME NVARCHAR2(64) NOT NULL,
PKGCATEGORYID RAW(16),
USERPACKAGETYPE NVARCHAR2(64)
PK_RNCATEGORIES PRIMARY KEY (DESIGNCENTERID, CADPACKAGENAME)
Thanks in advance,
Amir

After creating the table, your merge statement gives me
SQL> MERGE INTO RNCATEGORIES CV
2 USING dual ON
3 ( CV.DESIGNCENTERID = in_DESIGNCENTERID
4 AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
5 )
6 WHEN MATCHED THEN
7 UPDATE SET
8 PKGCATEGORYID = in_PKGCATEGORYID,
9 UserPackageType = in_UserPackageType
10 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
11 INSERT VALUES ( in_DESIGNCENTERID,
12 in_CADPACKAGENAME, in_PKGCATEGORYID,in_UserPackageType );
AND CV.CADPACKAGENAME = in_CADPACKAGENAME
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00904: "IN_CADPACKAGENAME": invalid identifierwhich is about what I expected. The USING clause requires a select statement, not just a table name. It looks to me like this merge statement is in some kind of stored procedure, and that the in_XXX are variables passed to that procedure. If this is correct, then your merge needs to be more like:
MERGE INTO rncategories cv
USING (SELECT in_designcenterid dcid, in_cadpackagename cpn,
              in_pkgcategoryid pcid, in_userpackagetype upt
       FROM dual)
ON (cv.designcenterid = dcid and
    cv.cadpackagename = cpn)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
   UPDATE SET
   pkgcategoryid = pcid
   userpackagetype = upt
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
   INSERT VALUES (dcid, cpn, pcid, upt);John

CS 3 worked yesterday - got software updates - now all parts merged into 1 uneditable image

Hi. I worked on a logo yesterday. This a.m. I got software updates and did it automatically. I don't know what the updates were but I just did it and then the computer restarted. Now all my parts have been merged into one un-editable un-workable image. They are not separate any more. They are not grouped, not compounded, not locked. I do not know what happened. Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can give.

Try again. I am having a lot of trouble w. the forum trying to get in with my correct user name and password. Too bad there isn't a way that I can delete the connection to my email and start from scratch. Anyway....
Yes, I am working on the master page, no layers.
I will try to run Disk Utility and reboot too.
So far I have also done a page drag and saved it out as an inex.
Thanks.

My SSIS package retrieves a excel file and saves the vales into an SQL table. When I run the package by itself in my server it works fine but when it's called from a SQL agent, it fails with the above error. Please help me resolve it.

That's the issue. If it's a SQL login the password cannot be retrieved by account executing the package from the job which is why login fails. In that case best thing would be set password in job properties or pass it using configuration created in the package

FORALL MERGE statement works in local database but not over database link

Given "list", a collection of NUMBER's, the following FORALL ... MERGE statement should copy the appropriate data if the record specified by the list exists on both databases.
forall i in 1..list.count
merge into tbl@remote t
using (select * from tbl
where id = list(i)) s
on (s.id = t.id)
when matched then
update set
t.status = s.status
when not matched then
insert (id, status)
values (s.id, s.status);
But this does not work. No exceptions, but target table's record is unchanged and "sql%rowcount" is 0.
If the target table is in the local database, the exact same statement works:
forall i in 1..list.count
merge into tbl2 t
using (select * from tbl
where id = list(i)) s
on (s.id = t.id)
when matched then
update set
t.status = s.status
when not matched then
insert (id, status)
values (s.id, s.status);
Does anyone have a clue why this may be a problem?
Both databases are on Oracle 10g.

Should throw an error in my opinion. The underlying reason for not working is basically because of
SQL> merge into   t@remote t1
     using   (    select   sys.odcinumberlist (1) from dual) t2
        on   (1 = 1)
when matched
then
   update set i = 1
Error at line 4
ORA-22804: remote operations not permitted on object tables or user-defined type columnsSame reason as e.g.
insert into t@remote select * from table(sys.odcinumberlist(1,2,3))doesn't work.

Lightroom link to PS Panorama merge Not working with Photoshop CC 2014 upgrade

I recently received an upgrade to PS CC to PS CC2014. After Upgrading I now notice the Option in Lightroom 5.5 to edit in PS and merge to Panorama is no longer working.
When used, PS program starts, but does not con tune with the script to load existing files and merge into a panorama image.
Does PS CC 2014 use a different script? as it seems to be failing.
Has anyone else had this issue, is there a fix coming?

This worked for me, and a simple solution...
Start PS - restart LR :-)

for applyeing NLS Patch. I have to run the AD Utility Maintain Multi-Lingual Tables ,before applying NLS.
But the workers fail on Cznlins.Sql.
The worker's log shows:
Start time for file is: Wed Jun 18 2008 14:13:08
sqlplus -s APPS/***** @/oracle/prodappl/cz/11.5.0/sql/CZNLINS.sql

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
Time when worker failed: Wed Jun 18 2008 14:13:08
My question are:
1.) Has anyone encountered this problem before.On the specific Cznlins.Sql file?
2.) Shall i skip Maintain Multi-Lingual Tables, install the NLS, and run Maintain Multi-Lingual Tables after the installation?Do you recommend me to do this?
Thanks in advance, Soni

TSQL working in 2008 but not in SQL Server 2014

Hello,
We recently have been asked to move from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2014. We are trying to run parallel tests and one of our queries that was working perfectly in 2008 is not working in 2014.
One of the filter on the our query(from 2008) is we convert a varchar field to date and compare it to anotehr calulated filed ("convert(date,Quick_Data_Start_Date) <= convert(date,(Year_ID_to_Use + '-' + Month_ID_to_Use + '-01'))").
This worked fine in 2008 but when i try to do similar operation in 2014 it returns no result.
For testing purposes, instead of converting the field to date format, i manully converted the actual value i.e. instead of using "convert(date,Quick_Data_Start_Date)" when i use "convert(date,'8/1/2014')" the code works fine.
The field "Quick_Data_Start_Date" comes from a pivot query.
When i create a temporary table for the pivot query and use the temporary table in my code and then convert the field on fly the code works fine again.
Seems like the T sql is not able to convert the field from varchar to date on the fly when coming from a different query. We have tried changing the compatbility level to 100 as well and it still would not work.
Any suggestions and comments will be really helpful. Thanks.
Regards,
GM

Hello, here is my overall review:
The query is not optimized … agreed! But that’s not the issue.
There are a number of indexes that could be created, a number of minor calculations or evaluation criteria that could be improved to make the query more efficient … again – AGREED.
The query “as is” runs in just under a minute (on SQL 2008 machine with less memory and slower hard drives). Adding the indexes would take more time to add than they would save.
NONE of that should make the query NOT WORK. These deficiencies might make it run more slowly, but should not cause the query to return no results.
“order by” shouldn’t make any difference because the query plan isn’t assuming or using any special order
The main table (~10 M rows) is using a clustered index scan (not efficient, but not the point)
The Time dimension table is using a non-clustered index seek (so the index is sorted but the data in the table is NOT physically sorted that way)
The pivot subquery is using clustered index scan (it’s only 6 rows, so who cares)
Once again, the order by might make it less efficient, but shouldn’t make it fail. We get no errors or warnings – it just returns no rows.
Because the query DOES return results when we
Either dump the Pivot query result into a #temp table(single row) and use the #temp table instead of the pivot query in the big SQL or
The “input” tables are limited to X rows but DOES NOT when the inputs have more rows
This strongly suggests a memory issue.
The server has 64 GB of RAM, but this probably isn’t enough to hold millions of rows and calculations.
Can we turn on some traces to see what’s happening to the data in the query? How and what are we looking for?
Once the memory capacity is exceeded, SQL should be pushing these results to a temporary table (either in the local database or the tempdb). Can we test to see if that is happening?
How?
Is there a permissions issue?
I have successfully done large copies outside of SQL (copied 300+ GB file from one location to another) that had to use the disk instead of just memory … means the disk write operation
isn’t restricted from my user account.
I can also confirm that the account that runs the SQL Service (“Network Service” account) has full permissions to the drives and paths where the mdf and ldf files are stored (including
master and temp).
If this doesn’t work, our upgrade is basically frozen and cannot proceed. I’m really out of ideas … anything?

Report failed to parse SQL query:ORA-01745: invalid host/bind variable name

Hi,
We are currently upgrading from v2.2.0.00.32 to v4.0.0.00.46.
I have copied the applications onto our test server along with the various database objects and data etc.
When I am running a report in v4, it is failing with the following error: "failed to parse SQL query: ORA-01745: invalid host/bind variable name".
When I copy the SQL that builds the report into TOAD (on out test server) it runs OK so really cant see why it would fail in APEX. It works fine when I run the query in our APEX v2 and in TOAD in our live server.
The query is as follows:
SELECT
aea.ALTERATION_ID
,aea.ALTERATION_ID "ALTERATION_ID_DISPLAY"
,aea.assembly_name "Revised BOM"
,assembly.description "Revised BOM Description"
,assembly.INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE "Revised BOM Status"
,aea.BEFORE_CHANGE_QTY
,flv.MEANING "Alteration Type"
,aea.component_name "Part No"
,component.description "Part No Description"
,component.INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE "Part No Status"
,aea.AFTER_CHANGE_QTY
,TO_CHAR(aea.last_update_date,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"Last Update Date"
,aea.LAST_UPDATE_BY
,aea.COMMENTS
,aea.ORACLE_CHANGE_NOTICE
,AEA.SELECTION_CRITERIA
FROM XXMEL_APEX_ECO_ALTERATIONS aea
, fnd_lookup_values flv
, (SELECT INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE
,segment1
,description
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE 1=1
AND organization_id = 26) component
, (SELECT INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE
,segment1
,description
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE 1=1
AND organization_id = 26) assembly
WHERE 1=1
AND aea.COMPONENT_NAME = component.segment1 (+)
AND aea.assembly_NAME = assembly.segment1 (+)
AND flv.lookup_code = aea.acd_type
AND aea.eco = :P13_ECO
AND flv.lookup_type = 'ECG_ACTION'
AND modify_flag = 'Y'
ANy help would be great,
Thanks
Chris

For some reason, the updatable fields (this is a updateable report) where not connecting to the database properly. Whn I changed them to a report columns and removed the database field reference, the report rendered

Primary key failure with merge into...should not happen

I get primary key constraint fail on this MERGE INTO sql.
Why? Shouldn't the merge into take care of this?
ORA-00001: unique constraint (NCSL.SYS_C001568) violated
MERGE INTO SessionTbl2 thistbl

As you say, this should not give a problem then, but the only way to be sure the system is doing what you believe it should do is to use the same variables in the test and in the insert statement. The bind variable depends on the programming language you use and may pass something else than the string that oracle generates in the select from dual. I do not say it will be as such, I just want to make sure that this is not the problem. I have seen things like this before and you keep on looking in the wrong direction for a solution.

Execute immediate 'alter session set current_schema = ' failed in PL/SQL

Hi
I am trying to run
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = TEST ' ;
in a pl/sql block but it is failing.Can anyone update me on this.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test3
IS
A_COUNT NUMBER(15);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = TEST ' ;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO A_COUNT FROM (
select id from solutions );
END;
/

The user who owns the procedure needs to be granted direct select rights on table test.solutions (not via a role). Still will not help. Look what OP is trying to do. In a stored procedure owned by some user (other than TEST) OP is trying to reference user TEST owned table solution without prefixing it with owner. Something like:
SQL> create table u1.test_tbl(x number);
Table created.
SQL> select * from test_tbl;
select * from test_tbl
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> alter session set current_schema = U1;
Session altered.
SQL> select * from test_tbl;
no rows selected
SQL> However, OP tries to do it in a SP using dynamic SQL to change current schema to test. Such change will occur when SP will be executed, not when is it compiled. At compile time we are still under SP owner's schema and therefore select from solutions implies table solutions owned by SP owner, not by TEST. The only way to make SP compile and work OK is to select from solutions also dynamically:
SQL> select sys_context('userenv','current_schema') from dual
2 /
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
SCOTT
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test3
2 IS
3 A_COUNT NUMBER(15);
4 BEGIN
5 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = U1' ;
6 SELECT COUNT(*) INTO A_COUNT FROM (
7 select x from test_tbl );
8 END;
9 /
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
SQL> sho err

7 OPEN C FOR 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (select x from test_tbl )';
8 FETCH c INTO A_COUNT;
9 dbms_output.put_line(a_count);
10 CLOSE c;
11 END;
12 /
Procedure created.
SQL> insert into u1.test_tbl select rownum from emp;
14 rows created.
SQL> exec test3

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

MERGE INTO

Hi All,
i need an expert advice in this matter, and if possible please explain with some code/example.Here is the situation.
This process will read all records in the STAGING_TABLE and process the data into the MY_DATABASE tables.
STG_ID will be used to populate the MY_ID with in MY_DATABASE.
Any records that fail the load process will be flagged as 'error' by populating the ERROR_TABLE with the reson for the failure. After the load has been performed, all error records will be corrcted and reloaded.
outline as below:
1. Read all staging table records.
2. Use the STG_ID value to determine whether the record already exists with in the MY_DATABASE tables.
3. If not exist, create the one with associated records.
4. If exists, compare the staging data to the MY_DATABASE data as per the rules. Then update the appropriate data in MY_DATABASE.
5. If any records are invalid, update the staging table record with the error message.
6. create a record in MY_LOGS table to indicate successfull completion of the process as well as the number of records processed.
Now my approach is to use MERGE INTO path. I know that we can do it with the help of PL/SQL. given the above scenerio which approach is the better one. we have millions of records to be processed. Do merge has the capability to take care of all the logics i.e(insert/update/logs/bad-records)
can we use Merge in procedure and packages ?
please give me some advise in this matter .
Thanks!

read the following , you might get a better idea

Have you considered using External Tables ?
